There hasn’t been a single promo mishap for Legend of the Blue Sea yet, not that I’m rooting for it to stumble but all this continuous pretty does worry me that expectations are not sky high. The silver lining is that the drama is premiering this Wednesday November 16th so whatever is coming is right around the corner. The official … Continue reading →

Whatever screenwriter has Park Ji Eun has in store for her second fantasy themed K-drama Legend of the Blue Sea, it will certainly involve lots and lots of active acting from leading lady Jeon Ji Hyun. I thought she was the heart and soul of alien-movie star romance drama You From Another Star but she did merit some get some … Continue reading →

Mermaid Jeon Ji Hyun in Various Incarnations in Latest Legend of the Blue Sea Stills

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 7, 2016 by ockoalaNovember 7, 2016
Three scenes featuring a contemplative woman.

It takes a very confident actress to try for a role as demanding and fantastical as a mermaid, especially one spanning centuries from Joseon era to the modern day. Jeon Ji Hyun excels at confidence, even if wholly substantiated from hot air like her top star character in You From Another Star. She manages to bring the vulnerability and decency … Continue reading →

Jeon Ji Hyun has cornered the actress market on sassy and doesn’t look to relinquish the crown anytime soon judging from the previews showing her mermaid character giving Lee Min Ho‘s conman attitude in Legend of the Blue Sea. It’s only fitting that screenwriter Park Ji Eun uses this opportunity to reunite Jeon Ji Hyun with her most classic costar … Continue reading →

New Legend of the Blue Sea Stills Show Childhood Counterparts Laying the Foundation for OTP Romance

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 3, 2016 by ockoalaNovember 2, 2016
Four portraits of young adults in nature.

I’ve tried not to make too many comparisons of Legend of the Blue Sea with screenwriter Park Ji Eun‘s last mega hit drama You From Another Star, but with the latest drama still release it fairly echoes a major plot point of YFAS. Leads Jeon Ji Hyun and Lee Min Ho narratively spend most of the drama in the modern … Continue reading →

Third Preview for Legend of the Blue Juxtaposes Sageuk Seriousness with Modern Hijinks

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 2, 2016 by ockoalaNovember 2, 2016

Yay, new preview for Legend of the Blue Sea! Anything to wash away the muck and grime from the disappointment that is recently concluded Moon Lovers is fine by me. The third teaser is out and this one takes a contrasting vibe – showing us serious Lee Min Ho as a Joseon magistrate before abruptly cutting away to his modern day … Continue reading →

Joseon Magistrate Lee Min Ho Crosses Paths with Mermaid Jeon Ji Hyun in Legend of the Blue Sea Stills

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 1, 2016 by ockoalaOctober 31, 2016
Portraits of a rider and a woman in nature.

I never expected a mermaid themed K-drama could be so enthrall me to the point of avid anticipation. I chalk it up to Jeon Ji Hyun, she’s beautiful enough to portray a fantasy mermaid of lore, and has the indelible screen presence to sell a character grounded in extreme possibility. New stills are out for the leads of Legend of the … Continue reading →

Jeon Ji Hyun Gets Tied Up by Lee Min Ho in Legend of the Blue Sea First Meeting

Much can be said about Legend of the Blue Sea being over-hyped, and certainly it’s harder to meet expectations when the interest is so high. I was underwhelmed by most of the writing in You From Another Star but I did appreciate that it took risks and went for a story about a top star in love with an immortal … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 29, 2016 by ockoalaOctober 29, 2016

The beauty of Jeon Ji Hyun is going to be tested or affirmed once again in upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama Legend of the Blue Sea. And the answer is fast pointing to the latter, since playing a mermaid requires much salty water basking and so far she’s managed the feat of looking both ethereal and sultry. The teaser character posters … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 27, 2016 by ockoalaOctober 26, 2016

Popular things cost more and are reasoned to be worth the price premium, so said premium would conceivably be doubled if it’s double the popularity to be acquired. News out of China says that upcoming SBS drama Legend of the Blue Sea is reportedly opening the bid for Chinese streaming rights at a whopping half a million per episode, with … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 25, 2016 by ockoalaOctober 25, 2016
Young man focused at a desk with computer.

I figured Legend of the Blue Sea would be Jeon Ji Hyun‘s chance to cosplay as a mermaid. It’s not the first time K-dramas have presented this fantasy role, Jo Boa did a wonderful mermaid job in the wacky Surplus Princess,but that was cable and this is taking mermaid K-drama style to the big leagues in a prime time SBS … Continue reading →

Casting Jeon Ji Hyun as the spoiled top star in You From Another Star turned out to be a match made in casting heaven, and even seemed that way from the outset when it was announced. Her turn as the centuries old last mermaid on earth in upcoming SBS drama Legend of the Blue Sea is way more of a … Continue reading →
